I would like to print out one of my pictures and glue it to the outside of my note book, a wonderful Moleskine notebook/journal.

The problem is the photo paper for inkjet printers is very easy to scratch. So, I was wonderin if anyone knew if spray painting the print with a clean enamel would protect it, or would it chemically react with the paper or inks to ruin the picture?

More on my awesome notebook:It is the large plain notebook. It rocks! 240 plain pages, a ribon to mark your place, and elastic band to keep the book closed, And a pocket at the end. This was the notebook of choice by Van Gogh, Henry Matisse, Ernest Hemmingway, and the exponents of the historical avant-garde movement.

I hide my shame. But I must confess. So here it is... When I was a kid... Oh, this is so embarrassing... I used too... I don't know if I can do this... When I was a kid, I used to watch Solid Gold, and dance to the disco numbers. Yes, I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer!

I think I'm rooting for the Beavers this year. Mostly because ever sincethe big O got a new school of journalism, all we hear about in the Oregonian is Ducks this, Ducks that. Then there is the multi million dollar locker room the Ducks got while the rest of the school is hurting financially. I'm desperate to have the Beavers win and have the Ducks taken down a notch, just so all their fans at the Oregonian will shut the fuck up.

Headstrong almost to a fault, practically nothinggets you down.You enjoy making grand entrances and the oddpractical joke, (and are not afraid to 'bounce'somebody if it gets a laugh from your friends.)You love being the life of the party but yourenergy and fun-loving nature can sometimes getyou into trouble.As a Tigger you do crave attention, but you arealways fun to be around.

General - Rat people are so charming and attractive they are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists, they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually enjoy extraordinary success in life.

Specific - When water rats talk, people listen. Commanding and eloquent, always the center of attention, the Water Rats also have a soft side that endears them to the world. When the world needs, Water Rats are there. Humanitarian fighters against hunger, illness, sadness, they try to bring happiness to others through their compassionate endeavors and smiling warmth. When the world wants a friend, it's the loyal and sincere Water Rat which draws them in. The Water Rat has a successful career but money-wise, it's pretty much middle of the road. Changing free-spending ways could lead to financial security if they are willing to make the effort. Their natural charisma attracts members of the opposite sex like wildfire, but Water Rats often don't set their standards high enough and are quite indiscriminate in seeking love affairs, until they finally settle down later in life. Once this happens, they advance pretty far exhibiting oodles of charm with their loved ones.

I've learned that to cut nice rounded corners, that perhaps fingernail clipers are not the easiest way to go.

Next step is the spray on latex "stick to anything and everything" adhesive. Then put it in a clamp while the glue dries. In theory, tomorrow my note book should look even better than before.

The image I used was this one:

I thought a snow or winter related Haiku might go well as an accent for it.

This is the same typ of book used in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, but a larger version, so I tried to find a coop old map to put on it, but a)I wanted to use one of my own images and b) I didn't find any that seemed just right.

When it's all dry tomorrow, if everything turns out, I will post pictures of the finished product.
